The CEO of Netflix had to come out and address this major '13 Reasons Why' issue

Super fans were absolutely stoked with the news, however, with the show comes a significant amount of backlash, and there's a growing concern that newseasons will cause more mental health problems for viewers.

The main argument is that the show is now known for its shock factor. Towards the end of the season, there is one particular episode that has trigger warnings because something very confronting happens. In the first season, it was a graphic rape and suicide scene of Hannah Baker.

With a third season, will the shows focus be on addressing these issues, or topping the shock factor with an even more triggering scene? That's the concern of mental health professionals, parents and teachers.

But now, the CEO of Netflix, Reed Hastings, has come out and defended the decision to continue the show.

"13 Reasons Whyhas been enormously popular and successful," hesaidduring the company’s annual shareholder meeting. "It’s engaging content. It is controversial. But nobody has to watch it."
